Posted on Leave a comment

An arson case is under investigation after 24 train wagons were set on fire at the Bloemfontein train station.

Police spokesman Brig. Motantsi Makhele says that an employee of Prasa saw that smoke was coming out of a bunch of train cars standing next to the train track around 2.30pm on Saturday. He went to investigate and found 24 burning train wagons. Each one of the wagons is about R4 million work.

According to Makhele, the cause of the fire is still being investigated, but it has already been established that there was no fuel or electricity supply in the wagons.

A Prasa spokeswoman could not be reached for comment this morning.

Solidarity: Eskom is in crisis due to years of looting, mismanagement and race obsession; asking taxpayers to fund R1.8 billion in performance bonuses is wrong

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom is in crisis and should be treated as a crisis. The company is hopelessly bankrupt and operationally fragile due to years of looting, mismanagement and race obsession. The new CEO, André de Ruyter, has to be given comprehensive powers similar to that of a business rescue practitioner. If Eskom is not treated as if it is in business rescue, it is going to explode on itself and South Africa.

Asking in court documents that taxpayers should finance R1,8 billion in performance bonuses does not fall within a framework of crisis thinking. We did not have access to the documents, but if they ask for R1.8bn worth of performance bonuses to be financed, it is wrong. Eskom’s bonus policy states that bonuses will only be paid out if the company makes a profit. The policy is also applied in this way. Our members have not received bonuses for the past two years. It is common practice in all companies for bonuses to fund themselves. It should be that wa

ANC regime has driven SA to junk status – GDP drops by 0.6% in 3rd quarter – SA is going to struggle to get rid of its economic crisis

Posted on Leave a comment

The financial decline that continues in South Africa has given the business sector reason to become more concerned about future business activities in most business areas.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined by 0.6% in the third quarter of 2019, according to the Statistics Service’s report.

Calculated on a year-to-year basis, this is seen as a downturn that the economy has now stagnated, thereby having serious consequences for job creation.

The government hoped for a 1.5% growth rate, but economists warned that the target could not be achieved if sufficient new jobs were not created.

South Africa is now in a junk status phase, and although Moody’s is the only rating agency still trying to hide it, it’s clear that in the next decade the country will struggle to get rid of its economic crisis.

Debt ridden Eskom shutting down power plants it can’t afford to fix and increasing the risk of #rollingblackouts- We can thank the incompetent ANC-regime for this!

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom has permanently shut down several power generation units at older power stations due to its inability to fix them, the Sunday Times reports.

This decision has cut the power utility’s available electrical capacity to meet demand, which may increase the risk of load-shedding going forward.

Eskom said that the old power generation units at Hendrina, Grootvlei, and Komati which have been taken offline are not included in the utility’s current generation capacity of 46,000MW, despite not being formally decommissioned.

After shutting down older power plants, Eskom said it planned to resolve the problems at its newest Medupi and Kusile power stations, which have cost the company a significant amount while producing disappointing results.
Massive debt

Despite posting a R1.3-billion profit in the six months through September 2019, Eskom anticipates a R20-billion loss for the full year.

Eskom’s debt burden rose to R454 bill

ANC wants to speed up expropriation process during Christmas holiday season

Posted on Leave a comment

The process to amend section 25 of the Constitution in order to fast-track expropriation without compensation suddenly gathered speed on Tuesday when a draft bill to amend the Constitution was tabled by the parliamentary legal services.

The Constitution Eighteenth Amendment Bill was tabled at a sitting of the ad hoc committee tasked with amending the Constitution.

This first bite at the wording of the constitutional amendment states that when the state and the land owner cannot agree on the price to be paid, a country may – where land and any improvements thereon are expropriated for the purposes of land reform – determine that the amount of compensation is nil.

Parliamentary legal services furthermore proposed inclusion of a section which requires national legislation to set out specific circumstances where a court may determine that the amount of compensation is nil.

The draft bill does not delete any part of the Constitution, but a

Holidaymakers will now have to pay more for that long-awaited holiday due to rise in fuel prices

Posted on Leave a comment

The holiday has already begun for many, and will have to pay more for petrol and less for diesel from Wednesday.

Petrol increases by R0-11 per liter for 93 as well as for 95 degrees, but diesel decreases in price by R0-18 and paraffin decreases by Ro-21 for December month.

Economic experts say the rise in gasoline prices, and the slight drop in diesel and paraffin prices, could be attributed to the weak Rand, which just failed to return to its levels two years ago.

ANC’s failed Medupi not only poorly erected, but also poses great dangers to man, animal and environment due to toxic gases released

Posted on Leave a comment

The Madupi power plant approved by the ANC regime to be erected is not only an economic disaster, but also poses the danger of harming human lives.

The power plant is not only poorly erected but took years to be finalized and still cannot deliver its full capacity.

Madupi was constructed differently from the conventional power plants, and is described as the “new dry-cooled” coal power station.

When the power station is complete and at full capacity, it will be the world’s largest “dry-cooled” power station.

Economists and environmental experts have already warned that doing 2020 off the country’s biggest coal power plant could lead to serious financial as well as climate disasters still seen in SA.

Experts say Madupi will become one of the country’s biggest dangers to people and the environment with its poisonous gases being emitted, and will also be the largest entity in terms of air and environm

Zuma in the last trench – application for appeal rejected

Posted on Leave a comment

After the Pretoria High Court rejected former ANC President Jacob Zuma’s application for appeal with costs, he is now on his way to the Appeal Court.

It is Zuma’s last trench he uses to stay out of jail, and although it is a method of escaping his final trial, the debt burden on court costs is only increasing.

Experts point out that his chances of winning the Appeal Court are extremely slim, and that it will have far-reaching consequences for the man if he fails again.

Political analysts, however, believe that Zuma is playing his cards well, and that with the possibility of a failure in the Appeal Case, he has already incinerated himself by spending a week in hospital, to be “sick again” after the court’s ruling ” to become.

After all, opinion makers say this is the successful method that the long-lived Schabir Shaik used several years ago to open the prison doors for his release so he

Madupi still not complete after 12 years – It is a wonder that they haven’t blamed old Jan yet!

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom says the Medupi power station’s Phase 2 stage is in operation, making it part of the power supply’s overall electricity output.

The announcement comes 12 years after the first donation was made to set up Medupi, but during that time, South Africa paid much more for the erection than initially budgeted.

In addition to building the power plant more than 200% more expensive, the cost of more than R150bn has shown that South Africa is not only irresponsible in managing its spending, but is also equally irresponsible in appointing those who had to do the erection.

Economists say the construction of Medupi and Kusile power plants eventually totaled R234 billion, but informed sources indicate that much more money is needed to bring the two power plants to full capacity.

The cost of the two exchanges further increased South Africa’s enormous debt burden, and analysts reckon it will take at least 40 years before Eskom&#8217

Even if you are the president of SA you are not above the law! – Ramaphosa faces possible Labour Court action for retrenching farm staff

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s president is not above the law, and his so-called cases of dismissing 22 of his 46 farm workers could land him in the Labor Court. Cyril Ramaphosa dismissed the farm workers in his service, and used the excuse that it was a business decision because foot-and-mouth disease could threaten his cattle herd. No one has yet been able to explain what the illness has to do with his staff’s dismissal, and now unions apparently want to drag their president to the Labor Court.

The farm workers’ union, Fawu, is apparently at the forefront and has threatened to take President Cyril Ramaphosa to task over allegations that he retrenched over half of his Ntaba Nyoni farm staff, in October. According to the union they are protecting their members against “unlawful” retrenchment, but whether the union has the courage to act against its president will learn the time, political analysts say. What is unfair, however, is that the pr
